Title: Handlebar Identification Please....Skyway EZ1???
Post by: skwaym4n on January 15, 2012, 12:29 PM
Just picked this bike up off a friend and thought these bars looked like Skyways but they have a reynolds sticker on which looks to be original

any help would be appreciated..... ah and yes they will be coming up for sale :coolsmiley:

I'd say they were EZ-1's Steph.. don't recall seeing any other bars with that cross bar apart from the obvious snides.

Thats what I though but wasn't sure if there were copies back in the day??? These are as old as the bike as the guy i got it off had it that way from when he was 15 and he is 40 now. So being original ez 1 bars would make them a nice find  :daumenhoch:

It's hard to tell, take some close ups of the other side when you get a chance  8)

those top tubes look a little thick to be mk1 ez bars
and the gap between them a little too narrow

it could just be the angle of the photo mind you
